CURRENT MISSION

I dont know, I like to have a good time.

ABOUT ME

This is my first trip to Europe and I live in the country, working as an artist's assistant.
Its lovely.
I spent the beginning part of this year travelling through Argentina, Brasil and Chile, improving my castellano, working on organic farms, jumping off bridges, dancing, a lot, learning to appreciate fernet con coca, staring at glaciers, trying to orient myself with the southern sky and drinking lots of nescafe.
I went to art school in Boston and have been there 6 years. I left last December and have been here and there since.
and I have a profound interest and connection to Mexico, guey.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to remember everyday is a gift, and to listen more than I talk.
I like the Desiderata, too.
